Fluttershy was feeding her animals out in her yard on a nice day. It was pretty normal up until now, and everypony was outside enjoying the nice weather. Fluttershy was just finishing filling up Angel Bunny's food bowl when she heard a strange noise from a few yards away. She looked towards the sound and saw a strange looking animal. It was small, like a bunny, but it was standing on it's hind legs and walking towards her. It made a few grunting noises as it approached the garden of animals. As it got closer, Fluttershy noticed the scrapes and bruises in the strange animal.

"Oh my, you poor thing! Here, let me help you," Fluttershy said, flying towards it. Now she noticed the blood near it's mouth.

"Oh dear, here, I have to go get something," Fluttershy quickly said and flew to her house. She went to the cabinet in her room and pulled out a first aid kit. She flew out quickly to get the small animal.

Poor thing, she thought, it was probably attacked...

Fluttershy pulled a little cotton rag and started to put it near it's mouth. "Here," She said, "bite down on this." The creature started opening it's mouth and moving it's head towards the rag, but the rag wasn't its target.

"OW!" Fluttershy yelped as the creature bit Fluttershy's hoof hard. She pulled away and looked at the blood trickling down from her hoof.

"Oh dear, now I know you're nervice, but it's not okay to bite," Fluttershy whispered. She went inside the house to wash her bite off, but she didn't make it to the faucet. She collapsed at the doorway to the kitchen and started twitching horrifyingly. More blood gushed from the bite and her hair started shedding itself. Fluttershy was not Fluttershy anymore. She started coughing up blood onto the ground below her and making gagging and coughing sounds. After a few moments, she sat still on the ground, blood dripping from her mouth. She suddenly twitched and groaned a little. After a few twitches, she picked herself up and started towards the door. Fluttershy was infected.

Zecora's shop, half an hour later

For the past hour, Fluttershy has been walking through the Everfree Forest. After an hour of blind stumbling, she saw Zecora's hut. She sniffed the air, smelling the chewy flesh from within the hut. She let out a groan of success and started towards the brewing shop.

The door opened slowly as Fluttershy made her way in through the door. Zecora was on the other side of the room, reading about different potions. She heard the door creak a little and knew somepony was there.

"Greetings to my brewing shop, do you need a potion or a brewing crop?" Zecora asked without looking. With no response, she turned around and gasped. "My my, Fluttershy! How have you hurt your eye?"

Fluttershy's eye had a scar through it from the battle between her and her animals and blood was being drawn from her mouth.

"Oh my, are you ill? Do you need a curing pill?" Zecora knew nothing of such diseases that would make mouths bleed.

Fluttershy lunged towards Zecora, catching her by surprise. She was immediately knocked to the ground and before she knew what was going on, a sharp pain pierced her front hoof. Zecora let out a scream as she watched the blood trickled down onto the floor. Even if she did scream, she knew nopony was around to hear her.

For what felt like hours, Zecora was laying on the ground, Fluttershy biting into her front hooves. With every bite, Zecora got dizzier and faded even further from reality. After about two minutes of screaming and trickling blood, Zecora stopped screaming, Fluttershy stopped biting, and there was no more pain. Zecora was now taken by Fluttershy into a horrible disease unknown to anypony but those two.

"Fluttershy? Fluttershy! Are you in there?" Rainbow Dash was in Fluttershy's house for a scheduled get together. After a few minutes of calling in the doorway, she decided to go looking around. Before she cloud take a further step in, she heard a strange noise from her backyard. She backed out of the home and immediately flew over the roof to look at the back yard. It wasn't a pretty site.

"OH MY CELESTIA!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she saw the gruesome horror in the backyard. There was blood smeared on a tree, all over the ground, and bits of flesh. Despite the signs of a massacre, animals were still walking, or should we say limping, across the yard.

When the animals heard her yell, they all whipped their heads directly towards her. The birds started flying towards her and shrieking horribly. A few fell out of the air due to wing damage.

"What the hay ha- WOAH!"Rainbow yelled as she dodged an eagle about to rip through her. "Oh no, I've read stories like this... It starts in animals, and then the animals attack... FLUTTERSHY! Oh no, I gotta warn Ponyville!" With this, she turned and started flying towards Ponyville, but she forgot about the birds.

The flying creatures darted at Dash, one by one, all being dodged. I gotta lose these guys! She thought.

Rainbow started darting around trees so sharp that most birds got trapped in the leaves or crashing into tree trunks. One by one, all the birds were off Rainbow's tail and she could warn Ponyville safely.

"It has come true," Rainbow said worriedly as she flew towards Ponyville, "The Ponyville Pandemic. The book came true."

Ponyville Pandemic was a book of a breakout disease that made ponies crave flesh and act differently. They were called zed. Rainbow has read all of the books in the series and advised her plan. Finally, it happened. Unmistakably, it started. All Rainbow had to do now was warn the others and board up the library. It was gonna be the easiest thing to overcome wtih Twilight's magic. Rainbow thought everything was gonna work out. She was wrong. Terribly wrong.
